    Rethinking Data Center Network Architecture

    Dudy Cohen, VP of Product Marketing at DriveNets, examines the rapid evolution of Ethernet technology and its critical role in AI infrastructure. Cohen discusses how Ethernet is advancing through multiple dimensions—from 800G to 1.6T line rates, co-packaged optics integration, and the introduction of scheduling layers that address Ethernet's traditional limitations. He explores the dramatic scaling of GPU clusters, from thousands to potentially millions of units, and explains why different scheduling approaches—fabric scheduling versus endpoint scheduling—suit different deployment scenarios. Cohen traces DriveNets' journey from building scalable service provider routers to applying the same scheduled fabric technology to AI backend networks. The discussion reveals how technical architecture choices directly impact business metrics, from time to first token to cost per million tokens, and why open, Ethernet-based solutions are gaining traction across hyperscalers, neoclouds, and enterprise deployments. What You Will Learn: How Ethernet technology is evolving across speed, optics, and scheduling capabilitiesThe difference between fabric scheduling and endpoint scheduling for AI networksWhy ESUN technology enables Ethernet to compete with purpose-built scale-up protocolsHow GPU cluster sizes are scaling from thousands to potentially millions of unitsThe business case for Ethernet-based AI infrastructure in terms of deployment speed and operational costs

    CloudNets S5 E4 Last Mile Redundancy Dilemma

    In this episode of CloudNets, we dive into the last-mile redundancy dilemma for service providers. We explore the trade-offs between single and dual connections, the complexity of traditional chassis-based designs, and how Distributed Disaggregated Chassis (DDC) delivers the best of both worlds—true redundancy, resilience, and scalability without added operational complexity.

    CloudNets S5 E1 Automating Network Upgrades

    In this episode, we explain the challenge network operators face when introducing new features—balancing speed, risk, and maintenance windows—and why traditional “big bang” upgrades are risky and slow. Here, we introduce automated scheduled maintenance that allows gradual, controlled software rollouts, reducing risk while accelerating innovation without late-night manual work.
